Khong Chiam ( _th. โขงเจียม) is the easternmost district ("Amphoe") of Ubon Ratchathani Province of Thailand.

History

The area of the district was the central district "Khwaeng" of "Mueang" Khong Chiam, which is now Si Mueang Mai district. On January 1 1957 the three "tambon" Khong Chiam, Huai Yang and Pho Klang were split off from Khong Chiam to form the Ban Dan minor district ("King Amphoe").

On September 14 1971 the district was renamed to Khong Chiam, while the former district Khong Chiam was renamed to Si Mueang Mai, as the historical center of "Mueang" Khong Chiam was located within this district.
